Customer Reviews
Authentic Mexican food with a great variety of hot sauces to choose from. Yes it is spicy for those who enjoy real flavor. The handmade tortillas are a big plus and you can truly taste the difference. I ordered the Michoacana torta and it was excellent. The bread tasted freshly made very soft and the meat was freshly cooked full of flavor. I did not even need to add much hot sauce because the food already tasted great on its own. My favorite part was the chocolate flan. It was amazing not overly sweet and very smooth. Every bite melted in my mouth. Highly recommend this place and I will definitely be coming back.
Decent Mexican food. We ordered few Tacos chicken, shrimp and also other dishes and everything was tasty and there were quite a bit of spicy sauces in the salad bar to spice it up
I arrived and stepped inside, there is a host stand but no instructions so I just stood there. A server walked past me 3x, made eye contact and said nothing. Finally I spoke up and asked her if I seat myself? She then replied yes. That was off putting upon arrival, no hello, no welcome, no signs with instructions just the expectation I am suppose to know to seat myself. After sitting there for a good 5-8 min someone came by with some chips and salsa and took our drink order. After she returned with drinks she didn’t return for another 10-12 min. They were quite busy for 2 servers. We ordered the Al Pastor tacos, carne asada tacos and rice and beans. The rice and beans are not very authentic at all in fact I took a bite of each and left those behind. The beans taste of a can and the rice
We went on a Friday night, a friend of mine who is a foodie recommended this place. Location: it is located in a shopping plaza Parking: it's free and there's plenty Service: the service was simple, she took our order and brought it to us. I wasn't impressed with the service - I had to go to the bar to get my ticket and when I went up there nobody even looked in my eyes or asked what I needed. Food/drink : 3/10 my boyfriend enjoyed his food he had the Al pastor tacos. I had the steak tacos with beans and rice - it wasn't good to me. They did have a salsa bar which I liked. Will I be back? No. Didn't like the food and the service wasn't the best.
You get way more than your money's worth. My dinner portion looked like it had at least 10-12oz of grilled chicken on it. And my friend's chicken burrito was stuffed full. Do not let the outside fool you. It's got great food packed into a little place.
